Wom Hat - Digital Pattern

A sweet wombat inspired children's beanie knitting pattern

This is a digital knitting pattern, designed by Sarah Crawford.

Everything about a wombat is square. Their noses, their bodies, even their poo! But they are such sweet faces and little ears. So, a square hat with cute ears simply must be named ‘Wom’.

Little knots over stockinette just like the buttongrass on the fields where wombats wander add fun and extra cuteness.
